From 2006 to 2011, home prices in the United States were in free fall. However in the past 6 years, the average home value has caught up to the 2006 highs and in some markets gone even higher. Now keep in mind each market is unique. In Prescott Arizona, for instance, our market has […]

Just two weeks ago I posted a market update. Today I have some new data to share with my geeky real estate stat junkies:) So our little Keller Williams office is still leading the Prescott area in unit sales, in fact we are in the top 500 brokerages in the United States! Our market here […]

It seems like almost every day people ask me, “Hows the market?” That depends on which market you mean. Here in Prescott Arizona, there are in fact several distinct markets. Take a look at these recent market stats which show Prescott real estate sales by price point.

Friday July 25, 2014 by Dave Conners, Team Owner Mistake #1: Putting the home on the market before it’s ready. Mistake #2: Over improving the home for the neighborhood. Mistake #3: Pricing the home based on what the seller wants to net. Mistake #4: Hiring an agent based on non-business factors. Mistake #5: […]

Its really important to understand exactly which factors […]

I found this video today from the City of Prescott. It really shows off many of Prescott’s wonderful outdoor attractions.

For me, Prescott Arizona’s Dearing Park was only a rumor for the first few years after I moved to Prescott.
